Entrances & exits for one thing... as one of those 'hybrid' wedding photographer/vidiots, I shoot both stills and video at the same time.

Most of the day, I can flip between camera types (XT3's for video duty and XH1 & X100F stills) but there are times when I need to both at the same time such as entrances and exits, confetti tunnels etc.

I used to stick the Action on top of the XT3 on a monopod so when they got too close for the 50mm prime, the wider angle action camera captured the last few feet of their walk.

I also use it to follow trays of canapes or plates of food in motion where anything bigger is a pain in the wotsits.

I also shoot band/dancing footage and for first dance especially, it's my wide.

I'm not that creative with it and it's more filling a hole but in a limited way. Same as the drone, - just a very small part of the day, especially as the footage of both is not in the same league as that from the XT3.

I tried the Pocket previously. Wasn't for me. Better low light but for my needs, the Action works better.

That makes sense, thanks.  I'm always interested in wedding photography / videography as it's often a single-shooter making a polished product by getting coverage and variety of an event that is unpredictable and on which they have very low degrees of control over, which is relatively similar to how I shoot.  

I mention lots of times that I have a problem with X and people suggest that I hire a sound guy with a boom mic or carry a lighting rig or just get people to do something again, but wedding photogs understand that not everything is a controlled movie set and that people sometimes shoot in situations where those things aren't an option and so we have to work around these limitations

Hurricane flood?

King tides in South Florida. Basically the entire region is just a few feet above sea level and the annual high tides (Sept-Oct) are becoming more and more problematic with water rising. It's called sunny day flooding...

Picture? I'll go one step and share a VIDEO:

Wedding video... how hard can it be?

At the risk of taking the thread in an unexpected direction, here's my two set-ups from earlier today, pictured in their natural habitat, on a beach towel on my lap in a tour bus, with people around me wondering WTF I was doing taking a photo of two cameras with a third camera (my phone).

For better context of your full setup, I think you need someone else to take a photo of you taking a photo with your 3rd camera of your other two cameras.

Used this combo for a TVNZ job recently..

I tried cage stuff before but found it wasn't for me, I prefer minimalist setup.
